I have my reservation at the Inn. This will be my first time at the dragon too!! Looking forward to meeting all you guys and seeing what everybody's talking about!

 

They are talking about a great road, and a great bunch of MINI people. I came from Austraila for the event last year.

 

I have not made reservations yet...does anyone know who has available rooms/cabins? I stayed at the Inn last year and have stayed in a cabin before.

 

I got a cabin.......done.... see you there

 

Seeing all this talk about waiting lists finally inspired me to put my tired old dialing finger to work!

I just got off of the phone. I have a 2 bedroom Dogwwod (same as we had last year) for $67/night. They had some rooms at the Inn as well.

 

hmmm... maybe I didn't ask the secret question....

I want a cabin...

 

Thanks for all the help on and off the board everyone! It looks like I'll be sharing some space with (along with a few guys from Chicago) some folks from Denver. Big thanks to Jonathan for the offer!

See you all there.

 

I just got off the phone w/ Fontana Village. They have some rooms left at the Inn and a couple of the "Dogwood" cabins left... That's IT!

 

The Dogwoods (not to be mistaken for the Dogwwod) are not plush, but they have beds and a door that closes snugly. We can't wait to go back!

 

Got a cabin, this is our first trip to the Dragon and we are looking forward to it . My husband has a dilema though, he is expecting to have a new superbike by then and wants to ride both , of course at different times, has anybody pulled any trailers with their mini? Please don't slam me against the wall, but we were wondering why we couldn't or shouldn't pull the motor behind the mini, any suggestions?

 

i know there are trailer kits for the MINI, and im sure it can do a bike

The author of this thread was very, very helpful and wrote a page or two reply to my PM. I think he wrapped the reply into a post farther down in the thread.

 

The action will find you my friend!

 

How far is gatlinburg from the dragon?

 

Probably about an hour or so drive... Too far away if you're thinking about staying in Gatlinburg for MOTD...

 

I have seen a Cooper (non S ) pulling a HOG on a bike trailer, you just need to fine a MINI hitch

 

i've been thinking about putting a hitch on my MINI (S) so i can drag my bike down to the Dragon with me

 

I finally remembered to call in and reserve a room. There's one left as of 1:00 PMish today if anyone's still procrastinating longer than me.

 

Got mine, a " Rustic Cabin " or rusted cabin????? Oh well I'm in

Don't worry, DaCrema. . . "Rustic" only means no air conditioning (unnecessary at this time of year) and lots of spiders (just kidding, only bringing up a silly topic from the past!)

 

The rust comment goes more to the age of the cabin I will be staying in. I had a shot at a nicer room (one of their time shares I think) but for JUMPED offer of a cabin. The other room did have AC, TV and a phone but no kitchen. Hay I'm there on vacation and you say telephone! We don't need no Stickin Tell-E'-fon. On a more level headed note, I visited several cabins last year and liked the idea of a kitchen. As I am getting there early (the second) I wanted a place I could cook a little pasta. BBQ is good but not every night. The restaurant was good as well - but again not every night for a week.

The fact that the other room cost more had nothing to do with my choice .... well .... errrr.... that's my story and I'm sticking with it.

I'm ready for a break. Look forward to seeing you and everyone again.

Just called and got a Dogwood. No rooms left and just about everything else is gone. If you haven't you need to reserve now!

 

I just noticed on Fontanna's site, under Cabin's & Kitchenette's, only 1 cabin claims to have a 'full kitchen'. All the rest just list 'kitchen utensils'. What does that mean? No fridge, no cooking range?

 

Not entirely sure, but I think all have at least a small fridge, hotplate, and microwave. Dishwashers and ovens may be less common.
